Abstract

An (n+1) factorization of an (n+1)-dimensional Riemann manifold is performed. For a space permitting a Killing vector, the (n+l)-dimensional Hubert variational principle reduces to the variational principle for the corresponding quantities in an n-dimensional space. Hence, setting n=4 and n=3, versions of a unified theory of gravitational, electromagnetic, and scalar fields and the steady-space theory of general relativity theory, respectively, are constructed. The five-dimensional variational principle for geodesics reduces to the four-dimensional leastaction principle for the test charged particle moving in gravitational, electromagnetic, and scalar fields.
